Kody would rather eat a horse than have a dog..... How does one make that analogy?

And now Janelle replied to Kody's tweet: "You know, I live with adult children. I cannot simply “ground” them. And I sure as heck wasn’t going to turn them out of the house in the middle of the pandemic. I was between a rock and a hard place." Yes!!! I've been waiting for a Brown family throw down on twitter for ages.

Someone replied to Kody's comment: "I love your weekly complaining about your wives and children on Twitter while the episode airs. I'm sure they love it too."

I think Janelle was weighing if the fight of keeping Gabe and Garrison from seeing friends was worth the table scraps of Kody's time she'd be getting anyway.

Kody just tweeted: "Gabriel and Garrison both could have stopped their social lives for me to return home. They say “unfair”, but never changed their behavior and Janelle didn’t insist on it." Yep, that's a great father son relationship.

LOL at Janelle trying to pretend that Kody and Gabe have deep conversations. Kody didn't even know Gabe had a girlfriend.

Gabe says HE doesn't care about not seeing Kody but he feels bad for Janelle not seeing Kody.

It would have made an interesting soap opera storyline if Robyn had handed Meri newborn baby Sol and said "Here, he's yours. I know how much you've always wanted a son". Then later changes her mind and wants him back. They could have gotten a few seasons out of that storyline.

"I love that I can just have those evenings where I’m wearing the grossest, most comfortable clothes ever and I’m just, you know, curled up on the couch with the girls, eating popcorn and playing games or something," the 48-year-old shared. This is me, every night with my monogamist husband. He doesn't care.

Tote the baby - reminds me of Angela on 90 Day Fiancé lol.

It's kinda frustrating that it isn't really about having another baby for Meri, but about having a BOY. She says to Robyn at 36:47 in the video "I always saw me having a boy" when she's looking at 1 year old Sol. Although if she had gone through with IVF she could probably have chosen a boy embryo.

She says in the interview that she went in at 10 weeks to hear the heartbeat and there was no heartbeat. They would have had to test the fetus to see if it was male or female, which she doesn't say if they did or not. Here is the interview: https://popculture.com/reality-tv/news/sister-wives-star-meri-brown-speaks-out-two-words-about-miscarriage/ ------------------------ Brown and her husband had first publicly opened up about their devastating loss on a 2012 episode of their TLC series, revealing that they had learned of the miscarriage when she was about 10 weeks pregnant. “I completely assumed that after I had [my daughter] Mariah, it would be very easy for me to conceive again,” Brown said. “And that just didn’t happen. So after years of a rollercoaster, we had finally backed off. Mariah was about 12, and, you know, I thought, ‘She’s old enough. I don’t need to worry about having any other kids. I’ve got these other kids.’ I had again got to a point where I was OK not having any kids.” “And I was late again,” she continued. ““And decided to take another pregnancy test and it was positive again. We had an appointment at the doctor to hear the heartbeat. And I was at about 10 weeks. And we were so excited. And we went in and they couldn’t hear the heartbeat.” According to Kody, “the doctor just said, ‘This is not a viable pregnancy,’” the news of which sent the couple “back to a dark place.” “I was so frustrated and so angry,” Brown confessed. “I didn’t understand why, after another 12 years of trying, and then, it was just taken away from us. I didn’t understand that. It was really hard.” Although not a topic she regularly discusses, prior to her Monday post, Brown had last discussed the miscarriage in a Sept. 2017 Instagram message. “The joy I felt when I found out he was coming was beyond amazing,” she wrote at the time. “The pain I felt when I realized that dream wouldn’t become a reality was an almost unbearable grief. Passing years ease the pain, but will never diminish the memories and the love. Septembers come and go, and each year I wonder what he would have looked like, who he would have been, and what would have been in his future.” -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently Christine had a pretty traumatic miscarriage a year before having Truely. Meri was 39 when the show started so that would mean her miscarriage was about two years before the show?? Edited to add: I googled it and Meri says Mariah was 12 when she had her miscarriage, so that makes it 2007.

When the show started Meri seemed at peace with the reality of only having 1 child. At that point Mariah was older and they had routine established, just the two of them. I'm guessing her questioning about if she should have tried harder to have more kids came from being surrounded by other women who kept having babies with Kody, and feeling left out or inferior once Kody acknowledge he didn't see her as a source of more babies.

Ugh, I use teflon all the time. It's the only way I've found to not burn things or have them stick. I'm a terrible cook....but I don't want cancer so I better stop using them!

I don't understand her logic. Folding the clothes when you take them out of the dryer is not that hard. Putting away the folded clothes - now THAT is hard!

I might be the only one that thinks this but I don't think Meri wants Kody back. I don't think she is in love with him anymore and I highly doubt she is attracted to him. At this time it's like she trolling him with her comments "what would you do if I kissed you" etc etc. When she was trying to decide if she would fly to Chicago to help Mariah and Audrey move back to Flagstaff, she didn't ask Kody to go with her. He inserted himself into the discussion saying he wouldn't drive the trailer all that way. Rather than as an attempt to get in Kody's good graces Meri might post those pictures of Ari and Sol to refute Kody telling the world she doesn't get along with any of the kids, which isn't completely true. She does get along with Robyn's kids. I think Robyn encourages her kids to like Meri, and why shouldn't she? Meri's no threat and she's very good with Sol and Ari. Dayton and Breanna seems to like her too.

Right, even if she was young she could have been a junior bridesmaid. Exactly, send her away to the University of Arizona or Arizona State and let her have a real college experience. Not stay at home and commute to NAU right there in Flagstaff! Let her live a little.....Just like I hope Ysabel gets out too.

I think she actually loves Ari and Sol. They seem like sweet kids. Sometimes once you have no little ones at home anymore and you've had a break from parenting, it is nice to drop in and play "auntie".

If she graduated it would have been in December 2020, which would have meant she only did 1 semester at the University in Utah. Seems possible, but unlikely?

Does anyone know what university in Utah she would be attending to get her masters in social work?

Her instagram has been oddly silent since June 2020

Mariah and Audrey were home in Flagstaff around Jan 17, 2020 for the big "we're moving home" meeting at Meri's house. Then they were in Salt Lake City on March 12, 2020 for the wedding venue visit episode. They must have flow straight back to Chicago and packed up their house because they were moving into Meri's house in Flagstaff in late march with all their belongings. I'm assuming Mariah finished that semester online and was done with Loyola around May 2020.

If I were Meri, the thing I would have been worried about with the move is the long drive. Audrey was driving the big rental uhaul van and Mariah was driving the car. I can't imagine driving from Chicago to Flagstaff alone in the car with no one to keep me awake and alert. That is a very long distance.

I love Meri holding her dog
